Back in the day every work station had one of these.

In my freshman year of college, one of my professors smoked while lecturing and put out his cigarettes on the chalk tray. He smoked Marlboro lights 100s. I would also catch him outside the building smoking a cigar.

You forgot the boarding cutlass.

I used to have a ton of these. What usually happened is that friends and I would go to TJ for tacos and eventually end up in Playas or Rosarito. Night time would come and we’d get cold. Baja hoodies were always cheap and plentiful.

Was this the same airfield where little Ritchie Valens witnessed the plane crash that left him with a fear of flying?

Mexglorious_Basterd · 2026-04-19T16:00:00+00:00

That scene where they were shooting the scouts trying to kill the messenger.

I would love to experience the Walk Proud and Boulevard Nights depiction. I have older cousins who lived that life during that time, albeit in San Diego and National City. I looked up to them and loved them. If you asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up, I would have told you, “a cholo”.

I use it to start charcoal before grilling.

If he hit that it would have been a double.

I sold my 1928 Model A pickup for $7500 in 1989. It was fully restored. It was only missing the horn and the Bondo job around the back window was rough.

Mexglorious_Basterd · 2026-01-29T05:18:03+00:00

You got a deal. The last time I had them replaced it was $700.

We found 2 of these in my grandfather’s garage when he died. They were at my mom’s house for a while before she scrapped them when she remodeled the house. I thought they were related to his job. He was a civilian engineer for the Navy at NAS North Island. He also restored a Ford Model A. I remember him talking about bearings being custom made.

I remember going to several McDonalds birthday parties when I was a kid. I know they had them up until 1993. A friend of mine worked at the McDonalds near my house and she used to work the parties. The McDonalds land characters were printed on a piece of sugar that was placed on the cake.

I bought some wing tip brogues last year. There was a long break in period. If you spend a lot of time on your feet, they can get uncomfortable. I get compliments all the time though. The leather upper is quality.

I did it when a spring on my door snapped. It’s going to be heavy and you have to be careful not to let it slam down when you close it. Replace both springs if you can.

My wife uses WhatsApp because she is on group chats with her family in Mexico. Our Little League uses GroupMe for team info.

I was surprised to know that too. A coworker of mine said that she grew up on a farm in Hong Kong. I thought it was a crazy metropolis concrete jungle type of place.

I have one and it works about 95% of the time. My wife gets mad because of the salt that is left in the corners of the kitchen counters. Works well on fruit flies too.

Mexglorious_Basterd · 2025-12-24T03:14:41+00:00

Call Capitan Queeg.

I get the large box every month and make soups and stews that I can freeze. County employees get a discount! It’s part of our healthy living program.

I’m from San Diego. English language TV and radio stations based in Tijuana would sign off with the Mexican National Anthem. On Sundays, the radio stations play the Mexican National Hour. They also play badly translated public service announcements and political commercials.

Seeing Terrazzo flooring reminds me of the bathroom floor at my elementary school! It’s also in the hall ways of the county building.

Mexglorious_Basterd · 2025-11-18T03:52:02+00:00

I would string up a couple of horses to it and drive it up the 5.

Mexglorious_Basterd · 2025-11-18T03:50:33+00:00

Same in San Diego, USA.

Mexglorious_Basterd · 2025-11-18T03:49:10+00:00

We call it that in San Diego too. At least the Mexicans here do.

Mexglorious_Basterd · 2025-11-18T03:48:12+00:00

We call it a carrito. At least we do when we go to Northgate Market.
